Empowering Subcontractors to Review, Redline, and Negotiate their contracts like a lawyer | Construction Contract Coach | Construction Attorney | Construction Contract Academy??
I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Over the last 10 months, I’ve been actively listening to your needs and feedback, and it has become clear that there is a strong demand for focused guidance on construction contracts. As a result, I am realigning my journey with my purpose and rebranding from Construction Leadership Blueprints to Construction Contract Coach??.
This realignment will allow me to get back to my true purpose: serving subcontractors. As I often say, subcontractors have my heart. And the best way I can think to serve subcontractors is by empowering you through your contracts to win more projects, eliminate claims, adn maximize profits.
I am excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to support you in navigating and mastering your construction contracts.

Today is our 7/4 anniversary*
So I thought it was a good time to share
My construction love story again:
For him it was love at first sight when he was in the audience of a risk management training I did for his company.
领英推荐
For me it was love at first sight... after I conducted legal research to see if I could ethically go out on a date with him; talked to my client to make sure he was ok with his lawyer dating one of his Superintendents; and after Jeremy Vickers asked me a dozen times or so.
What can I say? I've always had a low risk tolerance! ??
In any case, it was love at first date for us both. We've been inseparable ever since that first date 7 years ago. ????
*Because we got married (4 years ago) on the anniversary of our first date (7 years ago) so every year I celebrate it that way (so last year was our 6/3 anniversary).

Wow, Megan! ?? Your love story could be a plot for a rom-com! Love how you did a full legal check before the first date - talk about being thorough! It’s cool to see someone apply their professional skills in such a unique way to their personal life. Shows there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to love and careers intersecting.

Tip #4 just say no. Liquidated damages should only be implemented if there is a true 3rd party company that can measure delays on all sides. How do you defend yourself as a subcontractor if the GC isn’t phasing the sequence of the schedule properly, requiring you to work within a trade stack scenario? If developers want their jobs to finish on time, pay your bills and push your design team to be responsive. The GC’s and subcontractors are not the problem. Amen.
